I guess this shuts up all the people talking about english player tax for Rice and claiming that Caicedo would be cheaper.
Or probably it won't.
Reckon Chelsea will match that bid now. They've spent too much time on this transfer to lose out over 10m.
What the actual feck!
It's an increcible overpay but its still a massive move for Liverpool. Before this move or with them signing Lavia, I was sure we'd finish above them but this is a game changer for them now.
We have to get rid of Mctominay and sign a top CM too to steal a march on them again.

Casemiro was 60 and I'd still take him, don't think we even finish in the ucl places if we didn't have him last season.
How come Liverpool don't have to worry about FFP?
To be fair even though it’s over priced I personally think Caicedo is a significantly better player than Rice.
That would be hilarious.
It’s too late. He’s agreed to go Liverpool. Medical planned tomorrow.
Rice and Caicedo are this summer, Casimero was last summer.
What a bizarre post of complete drivel
We've seen twists and turns before. Caicedo clearly seems to not care which club he goes to and given Chelsea have chased him all summer and will probably pay him much higher wages, I still see potential for a late twist.
damn, he'll be fecking great under Klopp

Last summers purchases have impacted this summers transfer activity's. United have less room for FFP due to overpaying for Antony for example (this was reported last season) and Casemiro means movement for a longer term defensive midfielder was not a priority it's cause and effect.
They bid £100M knowing Liverpool would put a British record offer on the table. This is done. He’s a Liverpool player.
Premier League top clubs just don't seem to chase these promising players anymore before the likes of Brighton do. So yes, there will be plenty of options I'm sure but I hope we stay away from paying 100m for the first player that has a promising season.
Wishful. This one is done.
Chelsea bid £100M on the one night it wouldn’t get accepted. Literally at any point in the last 7 weeks, and he would be a Chelsea player. Sigh.
Not really wishful because I honestly don't care where he goes but given the nature of the Caicedo transfer since the winter and how Chelsea swooped in super late for Mudryk really late on, I do believe there could be a late twist here.
There will be few from French league in few seasons.
Ffs, this changes everything. We're shopping in Aldi for a midfielder and our rivals are signing Rice and Caceido. Sickening.
No, you’re right … ALTHOUGH … we’ve had so much bad luck maybe this tone wr get our Badiashile before signing a Fofana.
It can be Liverpool’s turn to be Cucurella’d
I did want Caicedo, but that does t automatically mean Lavia for me. For what we want to do, running that modified square, Adan’s and Santos make more sense. If you want a physically gifted guy with mistakes in him when pressured … just keep Gallagher.
Imagine the scenes. Come on Boehly, do the madness.
Wish there is still a chance for Chelsea.
For sure. I watch a fair bit of Ligue 1 because of Neymar and Messi and I do believe this profile of player, especially in midfield, does exist in the league. Not that I can recall any names at this point.
Stop posting nonsense.
We've spent £170M on transfers so far and could get a couple more in yet.
How come Liverpool don't have to worry about FFP then?
Crazy fee but we’re desperate (something Southampton and Brighton clearly know). Hope he’s good.
Guessing it’s too late to see him against Chelsea on Sunday.

That Lesley kid from the French league we signed was supposedly one of the people Brighton had targeted as Caicedo’s replacement.
They probably call and ask if we want to loan him tomorrow.
You never know, we might just go and sign Tchouameni.
Not too late. Needs to be registered by 12 tomorrow. Feck you.
Ah feck
Given how highly people rate him would much rather he have gone to Chelsea. Other teams seem to have made much bigger strides in midfield than us this summer especially in the deeper areas. Rice and Caecedo are signings which will solve issues in the long run while we will need to replace Casemeiro and in typical fashion will struggle to find the solution to do so.
I’ve been wondering why we waited so long to get this done as well. Clubs have entire windows to prioritise and yet so often wait until just before the season starts.
Guessing Lavia to Chelsea will be a go now.
Soooo, Chelsea in for Mctominay ?
We are scraping funds to get Amrabat. Not a bad player but a level below our rivals now.
Mental money once again but i'd rather have Caicedo than Rice.
Same
Completely agree. I wish we could’ve got him, but Brighton had Chelsea and Liverpool by the balls. We’re lucky to have Casemiro to avoid having to make such a desperate move. We’ll need to find a good replacement and partner for him eventually, but we obviously had far bigger priorities and Casemiro let us focus on them.
Just as well we have Casemiro. He's better than them all.
Our decision not to sign him is looking dafter by the day.
